Rob Ayling, yer Gonzo Grande Fromage, writes:
"Thom the World poet is an old mate of mine from way back in my history. Even pre-dating Voiceprint, when I was running "Otter Songs" and Thom's poetry tapes and guest appearances with Daevid Allen, Gilli Smyth and Mother Gong are well known and highly regarded. It just felt right to include a daily poem from Thom on our Gonzo blog and when I approached him to do so, he replied within seconds!!! Thom is a great talent and just wants to spread poetry, light and positive energy across the globe. If we at Gonzo can help him do that - why not?"
GUILT, BLAME, JUDGEMENT, SHAME
(Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse)
I have friends who have been raped
who have looked into the dragon's eye
and refused to hate.Their love covers them
against shame,guilt,judgement ,blame.
George Floyd -prison terms -cocaine(twice),assault
High on drugs and with Covd 19 inside him
if alive might well have (high)driven
yet not made for summary execution.
Be careful who you deify.Heroes often lie
"A dog's obeyed in office"(Shakespeare)
Example teaches us both ways-by failure and success
One death is all death.You torture yourself in another.
Forgiveness.Acceptance.Release.Relief-
steps towards clarity over confusion.List miracles
more than capitol offenses.Save yourselves from dark reactions
You are free to do as much good in this world as you dare.
